Botran Anejo 12-Year

Pleasant to drink, mild. Slightly sweet. Nice flavor. Middle class for me.

It has some flavours from Botran 18, but not that intensive.
The taste is watery, the dilution is bad. As the rum gets warmer I get vanilla, paper, some oranges, wood and tannins.

The nose is not bad, but the taste is too watery. The initial taste has almost no flavours.
In the middle I get vanilla, paper, some orange and wood with tannins.
The finish is spicy and good with orange and wood.

I would rate it with 56 points, because there is a strong problem with the dilution.

Nose: orange, wood, dry fruits, spice, flowery notes
Taste: watery start, vanilla, orange, some paper, wood, tannins
Finish: spice, orange, wood

Sweetness: 1.5/5
Fruits: 2/5
Spice: 3/5
Mildness: 3/5
Complexity: 1.5/5
Value (15€): 1.5/5

Pri otváraní sa mi rozmrvil korkový vrchnák a padol do rumu... Nervy, ale potom som ovoňal a celkom príjemná vôňa
Chuť bola paráda a na to, že je pomerne lacný, príjemné pohladil chuťové bunky

Light on the nose, oak, vanilla, chocolate, rather smooth taste with pronounced oak, the aftertaste is almost not there. Passable as sipper, there is nothing unpleasant, but also nothing I would like to return to.

Perhaps I expected more because of the origin (Guatemala) but I didn’t like me neither mixed nor alone. In the range of price you can get much more.

Decent Guatemala rum, even though there are obviously much better ones there. Ok neat, better mixed.

This is one of our go to evening sipping rums... good for curling up on the couch and reading or watching TV or chatting with friends. It doesn't hold any surprises, just warm and friendly.

Too bitter to drink straight, more of a mixer.nose sharp.

Esa suavidad guatemalteca, toques dulces muy ligeros, se deja beber, me gusta.

Not great depth, but it makes a great cocktail. Too sharp without some sugar.
